    Agreed- it is hard to see the light at the end. Every other time I've "dieted" I would give up because it seemed so impossible... this is now a lifestyle for me. I never want to go back to where I was before!

    Great Job! I am also in a size 22 and would love to be in a size 12. My goal is to lose 80-85 lbs. I am trying so hard everyday even taking my 30 minute lunch breaks to go to the gym which is right across the street from my job. I really could use some support! By the way, Did you have any trouble w/ Zumba @ first? I tried it one time and it was very fast paced and hard to keep up and haven't tried it since. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks and Congratulations again!

    I did have trouble at first... BUT no one picks up all the dance steps the first time. KEEP with it and you'll pick it up. I go to the same instructor for each class so that made it easier to learn the steps quicker. Concentrate on the legs first and then add arms as you feel comfortable. Also, if one instructor is hard to follow- it might just be that you need to try another instructor :smile: There are good ones and bad ones. Zumba has become my outlet for stress and it's like a party every class! :wink:
    Good luck to you! You CAN do it!!!

    Sometimes I can't believe that I've come this far in my getting healthy journey.

    In 9 months, I've lost 86 pounds, 12" in my waist and hips, 7" in my chest. I've gone from a size 22 and am now in a size 12.

    How? I do Zumba 4-5 times a week, but it's like Zumba Extreme. I burn an average of 3500 calories a week. My instructor (the lady in the blue dress) integrates strength training into her choreography which I love. This last month, I've added 3 days of strength training to help shape my muscles more. For the first 7 months I did My Fit Foods (prepackaged, clean and healthy meals) for all 5 meals, but now I just do it for dinner and create my own healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and snacks

    I never thought I'd be able to lose weight, I've always been obese/overweight. It's taken ALOT of hard work, but I am determined. I have some size goals I want to reach, but I have NO idea what I'll look like at that point, this is the smallest I've ever been, which is kind of fun.

    So if you are reading this trying to be inspired- you CAN do it!! Just take it one small goal at a time!

    Loving this!! Very, very proud of you!! And I do Zumba also, and love it!! Great work!
